I don't think I remember a jet that made a 180 within 10 miles of a major airpot and an Air Force base, high enough to leave a contrail.
I guess they forgot something?

Made the tacobell hit faster than they anticipated?
The only time I've seen contrails taking a u-turn was on 911 and there were a bunch of them. I think if I would have seen that one my stomach would have flipped a little bit and I would have tuned in to some news.

Yeah, I got done with what I was doing and did exactly that.....no news......yet.
Unfortunately, I wasn't paying much attention and by the time I noticed it was too far away to even see what type of aircraft it was.

Don’t worry about China. They need time to build their nuclear arsenal.
They’re not going to pick a fight with us with their having only a reported 400 nukes.

I've seen this before while duck hunting or fishing over Saginaw bay when the Air National Guard from Selfridge ANG base or Camp Grayling are training. Its usually A-10 warthogs when its low but sometimes the fast movers go by. I watched 2 Warthogs dogfight and chase each other for over an hour one sunny fall day. The hunting was slow so it kept me entertained. At one point they kept going in a circle and made a huge smoke ring then the chase was on and they tried to shoot each other. Through the binos I could see the blanks firing when one would line up behind the other. Steve

Perhaps they had a passenger go ape chit or had a medical emergency and they needed to get to the nearest airport possible.
Did you know pilots are not supposed to eat the same meal as each other in a commercial jet.
If one has the fish the other has to have something different such as chicken.

I wonder if that contrail was caused by the aircraft burning off or dumping fuel so they wouldn’t land too heavy beyond specs?
